    Yes. The evil and always dangerous Left does not only reside in the United States. Should the liberals win with Carney. Hard working Canadian homeowners potentially face a home equity tax on their primary residence! The home equity tax would be a levy on the unrealized increase in the value of their property. The link below is a home equity tax calculator. I hope I have this wrong. Please correct me if I am giving out bad information. TY in advance. The home equity tax calculator follows.

    Liberal and conservative parties deny plan for federal tax on home equity.  However provinces and municipalities already have various taxes.  For examples, empty home, speculation, property and capital gain taxes.  Unlike capital taxes, sale and income taxes are fairer for taxpayers because they are based on ability to pay.

    If you make under $47,564  in yearly income, Canadain dollars mind you ($34,328 US dollars), Manitoba taxes you at 10.8% and Canada taxes you at 15%. 

    In Canada the top 20% pay 61% of income taxes. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/income-taxes-canada

    In the U.S. the top 10% pay 75.8% of income taxes. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tax-irs-income-taxes-who-pays-the-most-and-least/

    The link you provided only pertains to taxes on the sale of a primary residence. Still, it would be a devastating tax to many. peace_5

    Don't forget about the lovely 5 year fixed rate mortgages the Canadians loved (fixed for the first 5 years of the new loan, adjustable after that). The same adjustable rate mortgages that crushed the housing market in ~08'. The adjustable rate mortgages allow for lower payments (rates are lower than a 10/20/ or 30 year fixed that is popular in the US). Rates started rising shortly after covid and that 5 year timer is getting close from when rates started to rise. So anyone that had bought or refinanced into a 5 year fixed (don't get confused when you hear fixed rate because they can be adjustable after that) will get hit with a large monthly increase when that 5 year fixed loan period ends. 

    I haven't read the article, but if this is an additional tax applied after a sale, it appears Canada is trying to collect more taxes on home sales as people try to exit their low interest rate loans before that 5 year fixed period ends. IF rates do not come down there might not be any options to re-fi since rates will be high. It seems like Canada is just trying to siphon off any last "tAx" they can as people rush for the exits. Those not paying any attention will blame Trump in the years coming.

    I haven't read the article, but if this is an additional tax applied after a sale, it appears Canada is trying to collect more taxes on home sales as people try to exit their low interest rate loans before that 5 year fixed period ends. IF rates do not come down there might not be any options to re-fi since rates will be high. It seems like Canada is just trying to siphon off any last "tAx" they can as people rush for the exits. Those not paying any attention will blame Trump in the years coming.
